RT Florida

News

It's been mentioned quite a bit, we've hinted at it here and there, and especially with Jack's community Extra Life stream announcement, we're ready to give you guys the details.

Florida will ABSOLUTELY be participating in Extra Life's Game Day this year for a 25 hour steam (thanks to Daylights Savings). We have 4 groups streaming throughout the weekend with activities, stretch goals, games, guests, and fun.

We're playing in support of Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, a cause close to one of our own members. While nothing regarding who will be participating in the Rooster Teeth Community stream has been announced yet, our hopes are still high that we will be one of the featured communities and thus have set an Extra Life goal of $200. Of course, we are also looking to crush that goal with the support of our lovely members.

While we're unable to fit anymore people into the stream, that doesn't mean you can't host your own stream with support from RT Florida. We have an RT Florida team for our community that is set up under the Rooster Teeth super team. What does this mean? While apart of the RT Florida team, any donations you receive will count towards our team goal of $300 and ultimately, the Rooster Teeth goal of $500,000.

We will be streaming from Nov 5th, 12:00 pm to Nov 6th, 12:00 pm EST. A whole 25 hours full of video games, drinks, and shenanigans. We're asking you, our community for support to help us reach our goal. For more information or to donate, you can find our Extra Life page here. If you can't donate, then we ask that you pass the word around, let people know what we're doing and who we're doing it for. Any way helps!

Hello! Especially to anyone new who found us this past week. We promise we don't bite.

Let's Play Live kicked off with a blast. We understand that some of the theaters were closed due to the hurricane. If you were unable to attend because of this, please note that you will need to contact the theater for a refund as Fathome Events is unable to process them.

In more exciting news, if you did go, please feel free to post any pictures of the event, your screening, and all the fun you had!

October is a busy month for us (it just somehow ended up this way, don't ask how), but luckily this week gives us a bit of a break. No, you won't have to drive anywhere as all we have is a community game night this weekend. Details are still in the works with the other community groups and we should have more information soon. Keep an eye out!

Following that we have the RWBY Volume 3 showings. There is just over 2 days to make the last couple events happen. If you haven't done so yet, get your tickets before it's too late!

And yes, it's finally happening again; a North Florida meet up in Jacksonville. We've posted some details on this before, but now here's some more!

As stated previously the event is October 22nd at Rebounderz (you can see full details and location on our Facebook event here). We will be meeting there at 6 pm inside. To participate, the company requires that people fill out an online waiver. Please follow the onscreen instructions and have a copy printed out or on your phone when you come to the meet up.

About pricing, there are a few different options available. They offer prices per game, or the 4-Hour Fun Pass play package. This is the option we suggest as it offers four hours of game play for $34.99 in the Trampoline Jumps, Ninja Course, Laser Tag, Laser Maze, Bowling, Rock Wall, Leap of Faith, and Snookball. Plus it include a $5 game card for the arcade. Additional game rates can be seen here. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, let us know.

If you remember, our game night with RT Illinois was pushed back due to the impromptu MDB meet ups across the community. The new date for this is October 28th with more details to be found below. Be sure to vote in the game poll if you haven't yet!

For the Halloween party we've been talking about quite often, an event has finally been created for this here. It's the same location as the last, though the exact location will be released the night before the event. As it is a Halloween party, we are encouraging people to dress up. If you do not know what to dress up as, we suggest your RT counterpart from the list here (done by a few of our community members). If you aren't on the list, but still want to dress as someone from the company, choose your favorite staff member!

RT Florida is taking part in a community pen pal project that our good friend Lenny from RooTeeth out together. If you are interested in joining or want more info, check out our previous post here:

There's an up and coming community projected coming out soon and we want to help promote it. RT Chatterbox is a project helped to connect community members all across the world via a pen pal system.

Lenny from RooTeeth has put together a plan to make this work across the world even. How? The Internet of course. People will add their email to a list that is set up through the Chatterbox group, then those emails will be forwarded to their assigned pen pal and you will have the option to keep talking to the same person or select someone new.

They will be making sure that pen pals are set up with people from another part of the world so you can have an experience with someone somewhere else. Maybe you'll get to talk with an Aussie, someone from the UK, or Africa.

If you are interested in being apart of this and joining as a pen pal, please fill out the form below.

October is going to be a busy month for RT Florida with an event nearly every day of the week.

We wanted to start off by saying thanks to everyone who came out to our Million Dollars, But... meet ups across Florida. We had a total of 3 and they each did very well. A very special thanks to Chelsea from community marketingand Brian from RT Games (who actually helped make MDB) for making those events possible! If you did manage to go to one of these meet ups, let us know what you thought. We're always looking for feedback to make our events better!

Now, this upcoming Saturday is Let's Play Live New York, also available in theaters. A lot of us are very excited for it and even have a few events planned for the day. Check out the Facebook showings in our previous post here to see what community events are going on near you!

Following that are the RWBY Volume 3 Tugg Screenings. If you haven't already, please be sure to get your tickets. There are only a few showings available in Florida and so far only one event is confirmed (Orlando). Miamiand Jacksonvillestill need some love while Tampa only needs 7 more tickets! You can also check out our Facebook events for meet up details below.

Then, October 22nd is our North Florida meet up (yeah, we haven't forgotten about you guys up there)! We'll be heading to Rebounderz in Jacksonville for some overall fun and a plethora of games and activities to choose from. Be sure to keep an eye on the event page here for more information and important updates:

And, we finally have a con census for our RTFL Halloween Party. It will be in Orlando as stated previously, but now we also have a date, October 30th. Be sure to dress up for the holiday and keep an eye our for more details coming out soon!

One of our members is looking to the community for help. Andrew is making a casting call for a GTA V machinima project he's been working on for over a year. If you're interested in voice acting, or know someone who is, be sure to check out the link here for info on how to get involved in the project!

But enough apologies! Onto the good stuff. Such as, Million Dollars, But... game nights. We're having three game nights across Florida this Friday and would like you all to join us! We have three meet ups, each in Gainesville, Orlando, and South Miami. For more information and locations, see our previous post here:

We're also having an online game night again this next Wednesday with the drop of the new GTA V DLC. And of course, don't forget to join our Social Club crew for the game so our group can roll together in style.

Let's Play Live is just around the corner and, if you can't make it to New York, you can still watch it live in a theater near you. We have a complete list of Florida events for you to view below. Maybe there's one in your area? And maybe they'll even be doing something before or after the show.

Following that is RWBY Volume 3 Screenings. There are unfortunately less screenings this time around, but that doesn't mean you still can't see the show. While none are confirmed as of yet, Orlando and Tampa only need a few more people to confirm the screenings. Please check out the events below and buy your tickets if you haven't already!

Last, but not least, we finally have details on our next North Florida meet up. It will be held at Rebounderz in Jacksonville. There's a giant indoor trampoline, lazer tag, bowling, an arcade, an American Ninja Warrior course, and much more. They even offer a play package where you can play all you want for for 4 hours for $35. If you're interested, check out our event below and we hope to see you there!

If you haven't heard by now, RT Florida is taking part in a community-wide Million Dollars, But... game night. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Chelsea and Brian from the RT Staff and many of the other community groups to make this happen on such short notice.

And so, we're able to bring you three different events across Florida this Friday (September 30th) in Gainesville, Orlando, and South Miami. Please take a look at our current events where we will have food, drinks, games, and giveaways for those who show up!

This past Saturday we had our big meet up of the month at Dave & Buster's and it was a blast! We had some fun, got some good videos, had some laughs, saw an a guys who was unbelievably good at Dance Dance Revolution. Seriously, it doesn't seem physically possible. Not to mention the group photo we manage to snap. You can see the progression of laughter as Victoria was hit with the Nerf dart.

We also ask that if you did attend this event, you would take a moment to fill out our survey to tell us what you thought. Like it? Love it? Hate it? Were you sucked into an endless void of nothingness? Let us know here:

Our next event is in South Florida with a Smash Bros and CAH night. You can join Steven and the rest of the RWBY Cosplayers for some fun! Event starts at 4 pm this Friday and you can see more details here:

Then the following Friday, we have another game night this upcoming Friday with RT Illinois where we will be playing some Halo 5! It starts online at 9 pm. Be sure to message ThatsHowUFRolls on Xbox if you want to join up! More details here:

And of course, don't forget about the Let's Play Live in theaters. If you don't have the money to fly to New York, but a hotel, AND buy an event ticket, then you can just settle for a $20 theater ticket to watch it broadcast live! You can see our previous post here for more information and theaters located in Florida:

Following that are the RWBY Volume 3 Tugg Events on October 19th. We have Facebook events to help people who are planning meet ups, or just to find others who are going to there location. Please be sure to stay tuned as we will be providing more information on extra events for these closer to the event.

There have been a lot of announcements in the last few days. There was Let's Play Live in theaters, and now RWBY Volume 3 in theaters. Now all we need is Red Vs Blue in theaters! But since that isn't happening yet, we'll just stick with what we have.

There are a bunch of theaters to choose from for Let's Play Live, and tickets are now available for everyone. You can see our Florida theater list in our past post here:

Unfortunately, we're a bit more limited in our theater choices for RWBY Volume 3. But that doesn't mean you still can't see the series! You can buy tickets here, and find our Facebook events (plus the ones from the RWBY Cosplayers of SE Florida) here:

This Thursday is RT Community Day, meaning we're also having another community game night with RTCA, RTSTL, and Matt from BIGBITE. We'll be playing GTA V on Xbox One with loads of fun in store. If you would like more information, check out our event here:

After that, the next planned community game night will be Friday, September 30th with RT Illinois. No game is set yet, and the current options are Overwatch and Halo 5, but you can be sure we'll keep you up to date. And, as always, our Facebook event can be found here:

Then this weekend is our September event at Dave & Buster's in Orlando. We'll be meeting in the front lobby, grabbing some food, then playing some good old fashion (and brand new) arcade games. The event starts at 4 pm and if you are going to be at the event, please let us know so that we can make a reservation for food. Do so in the comments, on Twitter, our Facebook event page, mail a letter, send a raven. It will make it easier on us in the long run.

The following week is a South Florida meet up with Cards Against Humanity and Super Smash Bros. The event is in Oakland Park, a nice spot for our Miami and Broward County members. Check out the event here:

So far, these are all the events we have planned for September, but we are already working on more for October. Will is still planning the N. Florida meet up (be sure to bug him about that), and we have a poll set up here for a Field Day we're planning too:

Now, that poll is strictly for dates, but this one below is for activity suggestions. Things like Tug-O-War, Drunken Waiter, Balloon Pop- things like these. Let us know what you'd like to see/do at the event, and we'll make it happen.

* Please note, if a showing has this mark next to it, tickets currently appear unavailable. We are unsure why it is like this at the moment but will keep you up to date. However, it does appear that a lot of the area also have other showing in the vicinity, so it's still possible to get tickets now!

Guess what? We have a community game night this Friday! But not only is it a community game night, but an intercommunity game night with our good friends at RT Newfoundland. For those of you who don't know where that is- Canada. We're playing with the amazing Canadians. We'll be hosting this game night on both Xbox One and PC so pick your poison, meet us online, and find more details here:

Then for RT Community Day we have another game night with RTCA, RTSTL, and Matt from BIGBITE. There's going to be lots of people, and a chance to make some new friends. So be sure to stop by and play your favorite games with the best people on the Internet!

September is just full of events as we roll into our big meet up for the month that month. Join us on the 17th at Dave & Buster's off I-Drive for fun, food, games, and prizes. We'll meet in the front area, grab some food, then hit up some games for a good time. Let's see how many people we can fit inside a photo boot again. Think we'll beat 11? Let's try! More details here:
